Kimberly Garrett
President
Kimberly has been involved with Cowboy Dressage World of Colorado (CDWCO) since 2021. She enjoys taking her Morgan gelding, Suntime Song and Dance Man, also known as "Presley", to shows, clinics, and on trail rides. Kimberly is passionate about CDWCO because of its emphasis on supporting the horse and rider through soft feel and partnership. She also values the supportive community and having fun while equipping herself with new tools, interacting with other participants, and competing. Kimberly has been applying the principles of Cowboy Dressage for over 20 years, ever since meeting Eitan and Debbie at a clinic in 2003. In 2004, she completed a short apprenticeship at Wolf Creek Ranch to better understand the mechanics of Cowboy Dressage and how the discipline encourages growth through a solid partnership and building blocks. Today she is grateful for the opportunity to serve others in the CDWCO community and is excited to watch participants learn and grow through related events.
Stephanie Morrison
Vice President
With over 30 years of experience in process improvement, innovation, and project management, Stephanie brings a strong foundation in organizational development and operational efficiency. She is eager to support the Cowboy Dressage Board of Directors in enhancing member services and advancing strategic initiatives. As Vice President, she looks forward to assisting the President in managing member engagement, shows, and clinics, while championing youth membership growth and improving volunteer coordination, scheduling, and hour tracking.
She is passionate about equestrian activities and committed to supporting organizations that reflect her values. Serving on the Cowboy Dressage Colorado Board of Directors allows her to contribute meaningfully to both areas, and she is eager to help advance the board’s mission.
Karen Deck
Secretary
Karen became involved with Cowboy Dressage World Colorado (CDWCO) in 2019. The foundational precepts of soft feel and partnership were a magnet. Add to that the exceptionally supportive atmosphere of the shows and clinics, and she was hooked. She enjoys spending time with her Morgan mare, Tinkerbelle (Tink) in the mountains and high plains, and at shows and clinics. Karen loves the feel of the shows and events of CDWCO. No matter what a rider/horse's skill level may be, they are welcomed warmly and supported by the CDWCO community. That is a rarity in the show world. Karen is excited for the opportunity to serve on the board of this remarkable group.

Christine’s lifelong passion for horses began as a youth in Pony Club and deepened through years of eventing and classical dressage. Alongside her husband Mike, she enjoys riding scenic mountain trails and helping with cattle drives for a local rancher. In 2023, Christine competed in her first Cowboy Dressage show and recognized how cross-training in Cowboy Dressage develops her horses into adaptable, confident trail companions. Christine loves the inclusive nature of Cowboy Dressage, where every breed and background is welcome. In her professional life, Christine served for 10 years in the US Army and then ran a successful online marketing company for over 20 years.
